One year ago a report by CNN accused libyan costal security and Tripoli-based interior ministry’s Coastal Security Directorate, Colonel Tariq Shanbour to help smugglers in Libya auctioning migrants off as slaves. The CNN reported migrants being sold for as little as LD 600 and showed some of them being auctioned as farm labourers. Colonel Tariq Shanbour claimed that the CNN report was part of an international campaign to denigrate Libya, itself a victim of illegal immigration.
As a consequence of such CNN report Deputy Presidency Council (PC) leader Ahmed Maetig announced an inquiry into allegations that illegal migrants have been sold at auctions as slaves. In a statement, he says the investigation will lead to the arrest of those involved and of them being brought to justice, referring to Colonel Tariq Shanbour.
One year after a source working for the Coastal Security Directorate revealed that Special Deterrence Force (SDF) collected new evidences about another dirty story referred to Tariq Shanbour. According the source SDF obtained documents that will proof the involvement of Shanbour in stealing more than three millions of libyan dinars from Coastal Security Fund in Tripoli.
Special Deterrence Force (SDF) is going deeper into such investigation at the moment when rumors are confirming news leaked by the source.
